Inou Shrine (伊奈冨神社)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A shrine enshrined in Inou, Suzuka City, cherished by local people since ancient times. The precincts are thick with trees, and even in summer the approach path stays cool, just right for a morning stroll. There is a garden-like corner centred on a pond, and being able to walk while looking at seasonal flowers and the surrounding greenery is part of the appeal. It is a chance to teach children how to purify at the water basin and how to pray, giving you a slightly calmer moment before the water play. The visit itself takes only a short time, so the scale is just right for a first stop in the morning.

Tips

Worship is free. The precincts have many gravel and dirt paths, so wear comfortable walking shoes. The hours of the amulet office and shrine office vary by day, so if a goshuin seal stamp is your aim, checking in advance is the sure way. In summer there are mosquitoes, so insect repellent makes the visit more pleasant.

Best time to visit

About 50 minutes. The early morning, when the tree shade feels pleasant, is recommended
